Hello, what and all, and welcome back to the Damage Port. I I'm John Arola. It's a Friday show,

which means the return of one Brett Ehrlich. Brett. How's it going? At least one Brett Ehrlich. We don't

know how many brets they're going to be. I think the hardest part about being a person is being

the same person every day. Because sometimes you're tired, sometimes you're cranky,

sometimes you got it, you haven't pooped in a day or two. How are you? How many days?

I don't know, I'm speaking mostly for the ladies in the audience.

Like you're speaking to represent them? Are you speaking because you think they want to hear that?

No, I think they have a, they should have a voice. You might not think they should have a voice, but most women I've talked to or co-hosts anyway, have been like, it's been three days.

It's been two days. There's a whole yogurt community that popped up. There's a whole yogurt, there's a whole bunch of yogurt that women eat so they can get it

going. They can regularize it. You'll see on the chat. Anyway. I'm a feminist, John. Deal with it.

We are very slightly late because we're dealing some audio issues. And I'm now realizing that I'm hearing a

little bit of like electronic from Brett's thing. But it seems like nobody else is hearing that.

So I guess it's just me. I guess that's cool. We'll jump into it. Thank you everybody for being here as we close out this crazy week. Week two of the war,

which I'm sure will be wrapped up post-taste. Don't worry. We're going to be talking about

that as you know, we always do, of course. We're also going to be talking about the SAVE Act. It became a little bit more likely to pass this week. We'll talk about one of those who's now signed on to it. We'll talk about why they've signed onto it and how little they appear to know about this bill that they're approving of. A lot of people being attacked, good progressives, Zorn Mamdani, being smeared by Islamophobes,

James Tolariko, being attacked by a new ad that uses AI. It's more deep fakes in politics,

which is obviously awesome. And then coming up in the aftermath, we will of course be doing

our garbage people of the week, which is always a lot of fun. So definitely stay tuned for that. And with that said, hit the like button, share the stream, send us your comments, your tweets, your super chats. You might earn yourself a Blue Apron gift card. I think we actually gave a few of those away this week. We're doing well. Let's keep it going. And with all that said, Brett, you ready to this thing? Whether I am or not, you've been more than fair. Thank you.

Neverending says John talks faster when Brett's on.

I didn't know that I could talk faster than I don't have been throughout the week.
